Hi I applied to CGFNS for CES for NCLEX and licence, and not only do I have to get hours for my Nurse degree I have also been asked for my Access to nursing course as it is seen as prerequisite, Has anyone done this and does it really count? The cgfn...

Hi allnurses , Does anyone know what the rate is here for nights and weekends , was told i would get it but not told the amount or percentage extra,

Kaplan and hurst , they compliment each other , if you can take both but if finances are tight I would use hurst first

Well done Meeky :) x

Hi all :) I have been on here before ... I am trying to sort out my transition to the states ... Am not concerned to much about the visa process as my fiancé is an American citizen and can sponsor me . But I phoned the Florida state of nursing and th...

Well done meeky :) did they send you a certificate? I am still waiting for mine

Ps ARI are offering £8000 relocation fees to work there , the reason why they are short staffed is the cost of living , Aberdeen is an oil industry town , it is expensive to live there, i would not worry , once you get your licence transferred , you...

Aberdeen royal infirmary have a nursing shortage , there is also other hospitals but i cant remember the name , ARI is huge! I would send your cv there ,

Yeah that sums it up!

Yeah thats the latest thing that has been brought into force , it starts 2016 and we need 5 reflective study from different sources for revalidation of our licence.

Nurses in the UK cannot practice without a licence and that gets renewed yearly to which you have to make the requirements of working actively as a nurse for 450 hrs minimum under the NMC and have continuing education , you also have to have your ILS...

Did you do a foundation year? If you did you may qualify! US are generalist trained however the clinical hours needed are not as much as the UK . I am an adult nurse and did peads , maternity (OBYN and GYN ) and mental health in my foundation year a...

In all honesty I think its terrible that they make english speaking countries sit this ielts test, however, how hard can it be if your first language is english?. I think its stupid to test this, but i dont think it would block a person from traveli...

Irish Nursing Board, An Bord Altranais The Republic of Ireland is not part of the UK, they have there own nursing council

Thats what i said , it appears that in nursing it isn't but doctors under the GMC are exempt! Its not fair! And i agree with you!

I checked it online and it appears that ielts exempt does not apply in nursing in the uk ! I'm shocked! Thats just ludicrious!

I dont believe the UK requires ielts for english speaking, especially not americans, i have met quite a lot of american nurses here in the UK. but Australia does require IELTS for english speakers, which is crazy! Also you could try the Republic o...

Sorry thats what i meant by a grey zone that the computer cannot determine with 95% cert a pass nor can it determine a fail , i call that a grey zone in my head

Thats true and only 17% in there 2nd attempt , guess i was fortunate :) In the uk we are taught more on the ward than in the classroom and whats in theory and in practice can be very different. However i loved learning the american way of nursing. I...

I got at least the last 2 right that i can remember and the computer shut off at 106 or around about , they were very difficult questions, i did pass, i think everyone gets a minimum of 75 in that instant if the computer shut of after 75 and they got...

Sorry , jump back on the horse and get learning again! What are you studying with?

SavyJ124 and Aldrich21 How did you get on?

Good luck , when will you find out ? I know how this feels, i went through it myself 2x the first time they took my payment but i too was in hope as i did it practically a few hours after the test , but i did fail , the 2nd time i never did the PVT ...

Sorry this is not good news, on my 1st nclex i was charged and yes i failed but 8 weeks later i passed but never did the pvt 2nd time , i just waited for quick results and never slept for 2 days!

The wages are not that bad if you think about it , Firstly in the nhs , they get 30% extra for nights and saturday and 60% for Sundays, also healthcare is free, nurses here get a lot of holidays and i don't feel disrespected at all in my job, i cant...
